Mildly frustrating but definitely worth it for the payoff. The epilogue had me boohoo bawling. Paranormal enough to be spooky; slightly iffy representation but that's not my circus so I won't try to speak on it. All in all, good read. It took me a minute to get sucked in, but once I hit about 1/3 I couldn't stop reading.

Weird and entertaining but also a bit contrived. Did not appreciate the way they took advantage of the general social acceptance of LGBTQ+ people to spin this story.

I honestly loved this book! Definitely in my top 5 currently! The ending had a huge twist which I genuinely did not see coming. Sometimes it felt a /little/ elementary with how they spelled out the storyline but it wasn’t so much that I minded. Overall, it kept me hooked and I found myself super excited to read and sad to finish. Finished within a few days and hope to find other books similar!
